Solids 4 day wait rule

When did you stop following the 4 day wait rule? For instance, mixed dinners. If my son hasn't had either food yet, but hasn't had any issues with anything after a month of solids. Can I give him these? Thanks in advance!

    It's probably fine. The rule is more to make things easier for you that for him. Because if he did have a reaction to a new food, and he's only had one thing the last few days, you know exactly what the trigger was.

    If you give him a combo, and he reacts, you'll just have to try each individual element. 

    Nevermind me, I'm too distracted by my mini-carrots to think properly image

    We kind of just do whatever, and if we get a bad reaction we will then isolate the specific cause. No strict rule about waiting or single ingredients.

    I'm only really careful about spacing foods that I think a lot of people are allergic to. So when it was apples, bananas, and strawberries, I made sure he was okay with apples and bananas, because I know a lot of people with strawberry allergies. When it's foods that aren't as allergy-prone (chicken noodle with veggies) I don't worry about individually introducing.

    I take this general strategy.  I left the window for strawberries, mango, eggplant.  I will also leave it for the spices.  But, I introduced green beans and peas back to back. I introduces sweet potato and apples together.

    We have no allergies in my family.  I've given her about 12 different foods so far and she's been fine with all of them.

    We never did it.  The only point is to make it easier to identify allergic reactions.  We have no history of allergies.  We do not wait at all.
